Do you have a bunch of other period dresses? I need to network with people to maybe do civilian. Anything in European attire?

Gosh Philonivs, this is the first 'civilian' outfit I've purchased. Felt strange to be in girl clothes for this time period. I am usually dressed in 'boy's clothes' running around doing FFI - Sadly, I didn't do it this year due to the fact I could find my FFI arm band and half of my kit.

As for the female element, the WACs that were there this past weekend were selling a ton of stuff...day dress, fancy dress for partys, fall stuff too. As for 'European' stuff - I am sure if you look hard enough you can find a few things on-line (eBay, Reenactor Stuff.com, and others) to fit the bill.

Awesome... too bad you didn't have that FFI stuff. The photos I saw of the FFI looked good! Sometimes the resistance/partisans don't do it justice.

No, I was asking YOU if you had European civilian wardrobe. You have a little, if you're doing FFI, although that's "working" clothes I have a start myself, but need to shop around for some really good stuff still.

By the way, I saw these stats on Rockford:

470 - Number of HRS members attending the event
